I have an assert checking the 8-byte alignment of the RtlAllocateHeap
and RtlReAllocateHeap return value in my local tree and it hasn't
tripped so far....
I agree with you though, it would be good to add a check in GlobalAlloc
and make sure we get what we expect there, in the context where you can
see why it is important. I'll send you a patch later today so we can
both look at it.
